THE DIsGaACEFCL END.
The Joint assembly convened promptly
AZ half-past seven this evening. The lm'
mense crowd that had filled every fOct OF
snace in the House of Delegates during the
day, was again present to see the last and
final work of the members with regard to
the SenatoTship.
Dawson took the floor Immediately and
presented a motion to take a recess until
IL % tonight.
The motion was promptly and emphat-
ieally voted down.
The motion was one to dissolve, made
by Mr.. Hagans. The Republicans and
kickers voted sOlidly for the motion, and
IL WAS carried, thus ending IN lnfamy the
work ofa set of SoreheadS, who for No resS-
IN defeated a man who has done more Tor
the State of West Virginia than any hun
dred citizens in 1t.
Gov. Wilson will now take the power
into his hands that was delegated 10 tue
members of the assembly by the people oi
the State.
WHO WILL HE APPOINT:
II ia predicted that either Dan Lucas or
Henry s. Walker will receive the appoint
ment.
II il stated that Mr. Lucas denies that
he has any assurances OF the appointment,
and Mr.. Walkers friends claim that II the
Governor has any ambition to 90 INTO the
next Senatorial tight ne will not shut hlm-
self ont by appointing any one IN this part
of the State, but that the appointment VIII
90 to the northern Panhandle.
Col. st. Clair, OF Fayette, IS also men
tipped in connection with the SenatorSniP'
as he Is one of Wilson's most intimate
friends and rendered him invaluable ser
rice in his Gubernatorial contest. Inc
san,e objections obtain, however, IN this
case "a applies to Mr.. Walker. Governor
Wilson will certainly not destroy MS
chances, if be has any, by such a suicidal
art and il is therefore safe to predict thAl
the Northern Panhandle will get the aP'
pOintment.
